FDA OKs Longer-Lasting Juvéderm Vollure XC for Laugh Lines

First and Only Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermal Filler FDA Approved for the Correction of Moderate to Severe Wrinkles and Folds, such as Nasolabial Folds, That Lasts up to 18 Months

Here at Las Vegas Plastic Surgery, we do quite a bit of injectable fillers. We have been honored to receive Allergan’s “Black Diamond” Award (Top 1% of all Botox and filler injections in the United States), multiple years running.

One of the most common requests is to address the “frown lines’ or the parenthesis lines around the mouth. Our patients very much like the result. Some folks will ask if there is something that lasts longer. Now there is…

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Juvéderm Vollure XC (Allergan) for injection into facial tissue to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.

"What's exciting about Juvéderm Vollure XC is that it was shown to last up to 18 months from the initial or touch-up injection in a majority of subjects, which is the longest lasting result shown in a clinical study in the nasolabial folds," Joely Kaufman, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and clinical trial investigator.

Juvéderm Vollure XC will be available in the United States in April 2017. The product was first approved in Europe as Juvéderm Volift in 2013. As an Allergan Black Diamond practice, it is anticipated that Las Vegas Plastic Surgery will be one of the first to have the new product available. We are excited to be able to offer this new product from a long standing partner for our patients.

Facial Filler

Filler injections, [e.g. Collagen, Fat, Hyaluronic Acids (Restylane®), Bovine Collagen + Polymethylmethacrylate PMMA (Artecoll®/Artefill®)] work as small amounts of a substance are injected into the skin, they can add fullness, desired shape, and minimize static wrinkles, folds, and some scars.
